I am a diverticulosis sufferer and a few weeks ago I felt an attack coming on. For months and months preceding this I suffered from a general discomfort in my entire digestive system, nausea, constant headaches and post nasal drip. I decided to explore the internet to see what I could find, specifically what I should eat, as my doctors had given me no advice when I was diagnosed in the middle of a diverticulitis attack 18 months ago.
I found your great taste no pain site and immediately ordered your Great Taste No Pain Plan. I have shared this with everyone I talk with for more than 3 minutes and am an ecstatic and enthusiastic convert. My headaches are gone, my allergy symptoms have all but disappeared, and my abdominal activity is blissful. I have found my family to be the least interested and in fact even a little threatened when first I mentioned my new eating regime. Mom came home from the doctor with a new acid reflux medication and I cringed. I am hoping they will see the proof that this works through my continued health and try it for themselves.
My quality of life, my renewed energy....wow what a dramatic improvement.....thank you thank you....and so easy too....everything tastes better now. Maybe that is because I have less anxiety about eating now that my food is properly combined and my PH is more amenable to my body's needs!!
Thanks from,

Hi Sherry,
I have stayed on the plan for more than a year and have had little to no complications or pain from my Diverticulosis...much to my gastroenterologist's dismay, your diet, NOT his pills have cured me.!!!!!! My last colonoscopy was so good he told me I didn't have to go back for 10-15 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Sherry,
I really feel that you and your Great Taste No Pain plan have saved my life. I have had diverticulosis for about 10 years but never had a problem with it until recently when I had severe bouts of diarrhea and horrible cramping. At first I thought maybe I had food poisoning but then ruled that out and went on a fairly bland diet. That helped a little with the cramping but not the diarrhea.
No way was I going to a Dr. because I knew he would only prescribe pills that would mask the symptoms. I had been taking Loperamide Hydrochloride when the diarrhea became worse. I haven't needed it since starting on your Great Taste No Pain plan. I haven't had the horrible cramps.
I know I will need to eat this way for the rest of my life to be healthy and feel good so the added information was essential.
Thanks for having the information available.

After adapting to the change in the consumption of your Great Taste No Pain dietary plan, the esophagitis and diverticulosis have improved greatly. There's more mental clarity and improved energy level. YES!

Hi Sherry,
I wrote to my doctor and asked him for literature for the way I have to eat now and asked him for a meal plan for 1200 calories for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and a couple snacks so we will see what happens if anything.
They just told me to keep juicing like I did before I went in for my colonoscopy and had a blockage. Thank God I had enough knowledge to juice and not eat anymore to make the blockage worse. They told me at the hospital that was why I didn't have to have some of my colon cut off or have the bag on me. Thank God for that.
No one told me to combine foods a certain way like you did but in 1984 I was allergic to 32 foods and did not drink liquid at meals or eat the foods at all and when I did eat other food that wasn't on my list not to eat the food for another 4 days then I could eat the food
again. Other than that after 1 1/2 years I was ok. But I didn't eat any of the 32 foods in any combination.
My doctor told me to eat low fiber foods and not broccoli or brussel sprouts and to eat white bread, Heavens I haven't eaten White Toxic Bread in 60 years.
Since on your Great Taste No Pain plan I haven't been hurting or bloating and seem to have lots more energy. I have also been sleeping much better.
Thank you very much and glad I got on the internet trying to find out about diverticulosis.

Hi Sherry,
I had a colonoscopy on November 30, 2009. After the procedure I was told I had diverticulosis (I had experienced no symptoms) however I did notice a funny sensation when I bent over, I realize now it was probably early acid reflux. (since being on the program I have had no recurrence of this sensation and I have never had an attack.
When I returned home from the procedure I went on the web re: diverticulosis and found your "Great Taste No Pain program" I never refer to it as a "diet" because to be successful with GTNP you are on it for your health for the rest of your life.
Following GTNP I've had the following benefits:
1. Have more energy, feel healthy and younger.
2. Loss of weight (20 - 25 lbs.) which I was unable to do because of female surgery. (I'm sure the weight loss decreased my knee pain. However, it's important to note that I could not successfully maintain my weight before GTNP)
3. My right knee was very painful. In early 2008, I was in so much pain I was unable to sleep at night. Prednisone was prescribed. I don't like taking prescriptions, so I didn't take very much of it, went back to the Dr. and other drugs were prescribed. Since being on GTNP I've been on Osteo Bi Flex and a prescription topical cream. This combination is working well.
4. Your food combination/avoid acid program allows a lot of food choices. I especially like the pocket guide for dining out, it shows you can keep on program and enjoy eating out.
Sincerely,
Cheryle Kortman
I just wanted to thank Sherry for sharing her knowledge on the internet because that's where I found Great Taste No Pain. Oh my I am so happy! I have had reflux disease, gas, bloating, spastic colon, diverticulosis, and recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
I have been following your Great Taste No Pain plan and have been on it now for 2 or 3 weeks and much to my surprise (I was a little skeptical at first) I stopped taking my acid reducer pills. My joints don't hurt as much and I am sleeping better. I have less pain in my joints from the RA. I noticed that the pain, itching, irritation I had from hemorrhoids is almost gone after 45 years!!
I want to become more educated on the food combination that will continue to heal my own body God willing.
I am just so grateful that God put me right in the direction of your program.
Thank you so much!

Hi Sherry,
Just thought I would add to your long list of testimonials !
Like many others I had been suffering with bloating, stomach cramps, lower abdominal cramps/pain, diarrhea, constipation, generally feeling unwell etc., etc. Had a colonoscopy earlier this year, which was horrid and confirmed what my Dr had thought, I had IBS and Diverticulosis. I hate taking medications unless necessary so had not been taking anything but pain killers on a regular basis.
Then following some investigated work on the internet I kept coming up with you and your website. The sharp pain disappeared within 24 hours and by the 4th day I was pain
free. Still not 100% but well on the way. I kept up combination eating whilst waiting for your books to arrive. I also did a little test during this time and ate the old 'normal' way for 2 days - I then consequently suffered for about 4 days. I am now learning to change my lifetime eating habits - I have told all my family and friends and they are helping (plus I am trying to convert them too) and this week, I realized that I am feeling like the old me again, and feel better from the inside out. More energy, no pain or any
uncomfortable niggles - plus regular 'normal' toilet visits!
So thank you for putting me on the right track. Oh and I have also lost a couple of pounds which for me is a bonus!

Your Great Taste No Pain system WORKS!!!!!
Thank you for a pain free tummy. No gas, no bloating, no “Ouchy” attitude.
I have had Diverticulosis for more than 25 years. It is now under control.
What a wonderful life you have given me.

Good Morning Sherry,
I want to thank you for your "Great Taste No Pain" program. I have had stomach issues most of my adult life. I simply thought it was because you can't eat foods when you get older that you could when you were young. After every meal, pain and more pain. Three weeks ago, I was bent over in pain.
I was told 4 yrs ago I had diverticulosis; I did an internet search on it and found your website. I had been in severe pain for 5 days. I thought what I have to lose; I'll give it a try. My pain went away within the 1st 24 hours. I've been pain free ever since!!! I really can't believe it. About 2 days ago, I mis-combined my meal and my pain was back. Now I truly believe in your plain. It works so good it's almost spooky!
I've also dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks! It is so easy to follow!
Thank you for giving me a new lease on life!!! I've told my whole family about this and my co-workers. I'm making believers out of them as well.
